How Do You Remove Sap Stains From Car Paint?
Most of us have experienced the misfortune of parking our car under a tree that drips sap. The next morning, your paint job has hardened spots on it that you can’t wash off. Sap is often harder to remove than tar and the longer it sits on the car finish, the more difficult it can be to remove, unless you use the right solvent. Soak a small section of terry cloth with mineral spirits and apply the soaked fabric to the sap. Allow the mineral spirits to dissolve and dislodge the sap until the sap easily slides off or dissolves completely. Wash your car well and rewax after removing the sap. Solvents will often dissolve car wax along with the sap.
